Randall, these differences are quite normal. If you print out the parts on your deskjet, you will see that it makes a difference if you use landscape or portrait format. They are very small (0.1) and are up to the manufacturing process of the paper. Another source of the porblem is the thikness of the line. If I remember right they are about 0.25mm. If you saw out a part and sand to the correct size, you see normally more than the half of the line. 0.25mm in sum are very small but if you glue more than one part together your get very quick a difference of 1 mm and more. I didn't count how many deadwoods I have casted off until I understand how to work with these problems: Try to use allways the same paper and paper direction and sand your parts until the whole line is nearly invisble. And the rest is handcraft - so small differences are totally normal.

Really interesting start of your project.
-
Really wonderful build
-
Merry Christmas, Greg. Your beautyful pictures are a wonderful gift.

Hi Daniel, everything works well. My drawings for the Alert are nearly finshed and I started the build yesterday. My next drawing project will be HMS Triton with single frames. But now I am happy that I can work with timber again.
-
Well done. YOur hull looks very impressive
-
Really nice painting job.
-
Very clever jig.

Hello Daniel, I have not thought about publishing the Alert drawings. The base of my work are the AotS Book "The naval cutter Alert, 1777" of Peter Goodwin and the NMM drawings of the Rattlesnake. There are some details in the book where in my opinion other solutions are more believable. I draw with Autocad only in 2D - 3D will be the model of timber in the future.

Daniel, I didn't work on my HMS Fly since February. When I will go back to her, I don't know. It does not make fun to start in autumn and stop the build in spring for job reasons. In the moment I work on drawings for the Naval Cutter Alert/Rattlesnake. In the summer I got the NMM drawings of HMS Triton. I like to build the model with the frameing of the original ship, so I have to draw the frames by myself. If I find time to work more continuosly I will reopen my shipyard.

Dan, very nice progress. It's allways a pleasure to read in your log.

Aldo, your hull is looking excellent. Really nice progress. After a longer break -real life is sometimes the enemy of the spare time- I work on my drawings again.
-
Congrats to this beautyful model.

A short info. Yesterday I got the message that my copy of the new colored NMM drawing is in the post. So I can start with the drawings for the POB very soon. Is it a good idea only to mark the center line and some parallel lines at the bulkhead? At the center board I will mark the fore or after position of the bulkhead and also some parallel lines. I think that every model builder likes to use another thickness of the plywood and prefers another scale for his model. Chuck, you have much more experience in drawing plans for ship modelers. If this is not a good idea please let me know.
-
Aldo, it's nice to see your progress. I am allways waiting for my new colored copy of the NMM. I hope to get it in a week or two.
-
Really nice planking job. It's looking great, Tony.
-
Dan, you made a great progress in the last few weeks. As allways it is a pleasure to follow your log.

Robbyn, the hull is looking very good. My kit arrived Friday, now I have to clean my shipyard, before I start
